Marvel just wrapped up its Comic-Con presentation to great applause, and while we’ll have recaps of the panels for you later tonight, the officialSpider-Man: HomecomingTwitterreleased the first piece of concept artfrom the wall-crawler’s upcoming film. The footage that was shown ended with the Vulture, and this concept art gives Spidey’s nemesis a nice close-up as we see him do battle with the web-head:
While it’s not surprising that the Vulture’s outfit is technologically advanced (I don’t think anyone expected something that looked more in line with the comics), it’s still a neat look, and I love the little details like the talon boots and propellers inside of the wings.
What’s more exciting is what the Vulture offers as a potential villain from a set piece perspective. We’ve gotten hints of aerial battles in the Spider-Man movies before, but it always felt a little forced. There should be something graceful, fluid, and more organic to the story now that they’re using Vulture as the villain, and I’m eager to see how this character comes alive.
As for Spidey’s suit, it’s pretty similar to what we saw inCaptain America: Civil War, and I’m totally fine with that. It gives this Spider-Man his own identity rather than trying to push him to mimic pastSpider-Manoutfits. Hopefully we’ve only seen the tip of the iceberg inCivil Warwhen it comes to Spider-Man’s moves, and director Jon Watts is going to take the character to the next level.
